The tremendous sucess of the Manta and Cobra fighters initiated a search for a fighter that combined the best capability of both. The result was the tigershark a faster, longer ranged, more manuverable craft both in space and atmospheric environments. This is a studless design using a variety of snot techniques with opening canopy and retractable landing gear. It is only 690 allowing to be classed as a medium cost kit. I am also including a picture of the demonstration team tigershark and the red and black that i would hope make a great addition to the awesome lego cuuso space marines theme The model was designed trying to maximize commonality between the diferent models, so it could be boxed in a (lego creations 3 for 1 kit)
